When we moved into our home in Maui，Hawaii，16 years ago，one good thing about this house was the huge avocado （牛油果） tree growing in the backyard.
This tree gave the most delicious avocados I have ever tasted.I lived on these avocados when nursing my first child.Fresh avocado was the very first food for my kids.This tree was so huge that it cast a massive shadow over our backyard.It was truly our magical tree.
Until one day，someone from the Health Department came to tell us that our avocado tree was too large and needed trimming （修剪）.In New York，you get in trouble if you don't clear the snow off your sidewalk.Here，it's when your trees are too high.So along came the trimmer，leaving just the trunk and a few branches.I was sad.The kids were all sad.Some friends who knew it would say， "It's going to grow back.Your next avocados will be crazy!" Yeah，whatever.The tree is gone，so stop doing that.It just didn't work.
But a few days later，I noticed some unusual butterflies flying around the yard.And then，the sun came in the kitchen，creating this pleasant warmth once blocked by the huge tree.After about a month，I started to notice some tiny green shoots coming out of the cut branches，which eventually turned into full-on bright green leaves.
I started to feel like all was going to be fine，kind of like life.Little do we know what seems really difficult is actually life's way of making us stronger.It's life's way of bringing in the butterflies，the sunshine，and the delightful flojye.airs.We all know that saying， "It will be OK in the end.If it's not，it's not the end."

3．I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers，and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried，I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day，I was told that if I got one more E on my report card，I would be taken to the "big prison for kids"．
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out，I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E，just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage （孤兒院） was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do；it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said， "Mr.Young，do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger？" He looked at me，moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger，Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day，when I got my report card，I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus，I opened it：Geography，B+；Mechanical Drawing，C-；English，D-；History，C-；Gym，B+；Art，C；Math，D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
